Parker tornado crossbow

Anyone shoot one of these.I just bought one and with the carbon express 301 grian arrow and 100 grain field point this thing is deadly.Now what i need to know is a good broadhead that will shoot the same.The guy at store told me about trying the g5 broadheads but i look at reviews and seems people are saying the break on impact.Anyone wanna give me some advise on a broadhead?Also should i stay with 100 grain being that is what the field points are deadly at?

    I own a Parker Cyclone and have shot the Tornado several times.  G5 Strikers have a large following in Parkers.  In fact, Parker's own broadheads are made by G5 and are the Strikers. I have killed three deer with Strikers out of my crossbows without any negative notes. They shoot great as well.

    I shoot 100 grain muzzys out of my Horton. 3 shots, 2 were complete pass throughs(buck and doe), one was a dead vine(miss). Cheap and very accurate.

    Another vote for the Muzzy head out of the X-bow. I shot mechanical Spitfires with good flight results out of the X-bow but never killed a deer. I have killed several with the Spitfires out of a conventional bow with good results.

    Wanted to correct myself.  Parker broadheads used to be G5 Strikers.  Parker went with Tru-Fire for their latest broadhead partnership.

    ALWAYS shoot the same WT broadhead as your target tips. I dont shoot x bow but thats gospel for all arrow  shooting.
      If you gotta change wt to get the head you want then change your target tips to that wt.
